Phil, what is best for the FOP is to defend an officer who had his life put in danger by street thugs. Brothers in law enforcement wont do what is popular because you and Chief White think that it is in the best interest of the city. Why don't you apply and see if you can make a difference....HMMMM

Sir, you state that the FOP leadership should consider with cool heads before acting in the curent hot situation. All that is is saying don't do anything that will upset the political correctness that the metro mayor and chief is bowing down to. The FOP needs to support and defend the officers when unjust disipline is handed down. The FOP has said in the past that it supports the process of the justice system and they were hoping that the powers that be would make the call after the system played out. BUT NO,,,, they have to grandstand and do what a minority of people with loud voices want. They bowed down to these people when they busted out the window at police HQ and the protest that followed. Of course we wouldn't want to upset anyone, after all they know everything that happens as they were there.I support the FOP in defending this officer and all officers who fall onto the sword of political correctness for the sake of the mayor and his appointed chief.By the way, no disrespect intended, but who are you or what knowledge do you have in this area?
